Who were Mîm's sons?

symestreem · 03-27-2004, 01:14 PM

Khim and Ibun?

Firefoot · 03-27-2004, 03:48 PM

Yes.

symestreem · 03-28-2004, 02:45 PM

Describe the song that Tuor made.

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-29-2004, 07:19 AM

quote from the Silmarillion:

Quote:

There Tuor made a song for Earendil his son, concerning the coming of Ulmo the Lord of Waters to the shores of Nevrast aforetime; and the sea-longing woke in his heart, and in his son's also.

symestreem · 03-29-2004, 07:40 AM

Yes!!

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-01-2004, 04:02 PM

WHat caused Luthien to swoon before Sauron?

Lindolirian · 04-01-2004, 04:45 PM

The black magic in his breath or the smell of it!

Quote:

The deadly vapor of its breath/ swept on before it. Swooning dies/ the song of Luthien and her eyes/ are dimmed and darkened with a fear/ cold and poinsonous and drear. (Lay of Leithan, 2735-2739)

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-03-2004, 08:57 PM

Very close, Lindolirian. Actually, The Silmarillion mentions two things different things that caused her to swoon. You got one of them.

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-06-2004, 04:51 PM

Come on...this is easy...just simple reading in the Sil...no thinking needed!

Lindolirian · 04-06-2004, 05:29 PM

Well, not having my Sil on hand, I shall trust to my (not so) trusty memory. I think it was something to the effect of the Horror of his oncoming and his evil prescence...

The Perky Ent · 04-08-2004, 03:30 PM

Wild shot, but because she drew the venom from Beren with her lips, she swooned because he swooned when he was poisoned?!?

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-08-2004, 06:44 PM

No not there yet, Lindolirian. Way off, Perk.

Lindolirian · 04-09-2004, 06:19 PM

Quote:

She swooned before the menace of the fell spirit in his eyes and the foul vapor of his breath.

Now how is that not the same as this?

"The black magic in his breath or the smell of it!"
and
"the Horror of his oncoming and his evil prescence... "

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-10-2004, 03:51 PM

LOL, if you can't see the difference between "the menace of the fell spirit in his eyes" and " the horror of his oncoming and his evil presence"--then I can't help you. But, your second answer is the one for which I was looking!
It is now your turn, please proceed.

Lindolirian · 04-14-2004, 07:55 AM

Ah well, it was close...

Who "stole" his own father's hand?

NightKnight · 04-14-2004, 09:41 AM

Beren did.

Lindolirian · 04-14-2004, 02:43 PM

Kinda nasty, ain't it?

NightKnight · 04-15-2004, 10:49 AM

Very. But on the other hand, he was already dead.

Name three people who died in Dagor Bragollach.

Lindolirian · 04-15-2004, 02:31 PM

Angrod, Aegnor, and Hador

NightKnight · 04-15-2004, 03:25 PM

Sure!

Lindolirian · 04-16-2004, 09:09 PM

Ah, one of my favorites of the First Age

... What exactly was the Mereth Aderthad and who all was there?

NightKnight · 04-17-2004, 03:57 AM

It was a feast held by Fingolfin, and I think most noldor were there, but only Maedhros and Maglor of Fëanor's sons, plus a bunch of sindar.

Lindolirian · 04-17-2004, 12:59 PM

Yeah, I was there too, but ole JRR left me out of the story cause all I did was cook the food...

NightKnight · 04-18-2004, 04:04 AM

What city was connected to the river Nenning?

Lindolirian · 04-18-2004, 12:11 PM

The Haven of Eglarest.

NightKnight · 04-18-2004, 12:15 PM

Yup.

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 02:49 PM

Who told Maeglin that Elenwë died in the Helcaraxë?

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 02:51 PM

Must have been Aredhel.

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 02:55 PM

Yeah, who else? Doesn't seem like anyone else talk to that guy, 'cept Morgoth of course...

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 02:58 PM

Yeah, tough luck. And when he tried to talk to Idril Tuor came and threw him off a cliff.

Anyway, which of Fëanor's sons died in the attack on the elves at the Mouth of Sirion?

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:04 PM

Yeah drat that Tuor, he only wanted to chat a bitsy. Anyway...
Amrod and Amras, the twinses.

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 03:06 PM

It was them. I actually used Amrod as the name of the main character in a story I wrote.

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:09 PM

Eh, good name. What's the Adunaic name for the boat from which a guy smashed some mountains with a big lizard?

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 03:13 PM

Rothinzil. Big lizard, eh?

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:19 PM

Well yeah big lizard, dragon, its close. And sounds pretty funny too. But you are correct, of course.

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 03:22 PM

Yeah, I guess dragons are just big lizards with wings and fire.

Well well... Who was the father of he that "started" Tears Unnumbered?

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:25 PM

Guilin father of Gelmir. Gelmir was tortured in front of his brother Gwindor, who launched the first offensive of that battle.

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 03:26 PM

Yup. Poor Gwindor. I think I would have reacted in the same way if my brother was tortured and killed in front of me.

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:47 PM

What did Huan bring to Luthien after he chased off Celegorm and Curufin?
